distribution costs
Shipping and handling
Distribution costs are the expenses incurred in getting products from manufacturer to customer.
These include transportation, warehousing, inventory management, packaging, and handling fees.
In accounting, distribution costs are typically separated from production costs: Our distribution costs doubled when we expanded to international markets.
The term appears frequently in supply chain analysis and pricing decisions.
